Sources indicate the franchise has internally evaluated Wiggins, Eason, and Watson to bolster their roster around new star Luka Doncic. Wiggins is a former champion known for his defense, while Eason and Watson have shown significant offensive growth.
The Lakers previously attempted to trade for Wiggins but were rebuffed by the Heat. Eason and Watson are restricted free agents, making their acquisition potentially difficult but possible if the Lakers can offer a competitive offer sheet.
